What must I do if my official witness(es) cannot make it on my solemnisation day?
Before the day of solemnisation, update your marriage application with new witness’ details using our e-service ‘Change solemnisation details’ if your official witness(es) cannot attend your solemnisation.
In case of unexpected changes on the solemnisation day, please find replacement witness (aged at least 21 years old) among your guests, and inform your solemniser before the ceremony so he or she can assist you accordingly. After solemnisation, please contact the Registry of Marriages (ROM) on the next working day via email at msf_rom@msf.gov.sg or call 6338 7808 to update details of witness.
A $25 fee is payable for the change of witness’ details.
